Next to Ninja County, under the mountains.

The glow of the scorching sun was like a rain of arrows on the earth.

The thin Su Qi wept while struggling to bury his parents in the valley. Poor people, people are like cheap lives, so it can only be like this. Whether you can survive is a question, and not letting your parents throw their bodies into the wilderness and settle down is already the best destination. Su Qi kowtowed a few times to the grave, wiped his tears and left......

"You're only ten years old, you're unfamiliar with life, you're penniless, how did you resist it?" Knowing that Su Qi was in front of him, he was still worried about what happened to his mother. Li Xin couldn't help but sit up and grab Su Qi's hand.

"Alas......"

Hungry for a few days, dizzy. Su Qi really couldn't stand it, so he could only steal a steamed bun and run while gnawing on it. In this era, the belief is that the night is not closed, and the road is not forgotten. If you encounter someone who steals something, you will be beaten until you are caught, and you will be killed. Therefore, Su Qi was caught without running a few steps. The shopkeeper looked at her pitifully, and she was young, so she only gave a few small punishments.

In the case of being half-dead, he met a "kind-hearted person" and gave her a steamed bun, so Su Qi went with her, and as a result, she was sold into the Qinglou.

"Qinglou, there is a Qinglou now?" Li Xin was surprised.

"Yes, I don't know what Qinglou is, it's normal, after all, you're still young. Qinglou is only found in prosperous places. Su Qi didn't explain to Li Xin what Qinglou is, after all, he came out of that kind of place, although he only sells his art and not his body, for a talented man, a high-level Qinglou is also an identity, and he is really a little unspeakable to his son.

Li Xin, who has thousands of years of knowledge, of course knows what Qinglou is, as long as it is an ancient novel, TV series, movies, etc., how can the appearance of Qinglou be missing, he just thinks that the word "Qinglou" appeared in the Warring States Period, which is a bit surprising.

The Qinglou was managed by the prime minister of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and served as a national brothel, the purpose of which was to meet the needs of young men and to protect women from good families from harassment. And Guan Zhong's brothel plays a greater role. The first is to increase the government's fiscal revenue through taxation, the second is to contribute to social stability, the third is to attract a large number of talented people, and the fourth is to send prostitutes to the enemy. Guan Zhong's invention was soon copied by other countries, and official prostitutes flourished for a while.

By the time of the Warring States Period, Qinglou had a history of more than 200 years, and Qinglou of all sizes began to develop vertically and horizontally.

The longitudinal development relies on kung fu in bed to win, and most of them belong to the middle and lower levels. The horizontal development is diversified, some meet spiritual needs, there are popular girls shuttling through major gatherings, and the most NB is to organize students of various schools to start political conferences...... Such a thing is basically a high level.

A large number of green buildings have appeared in Pakistan, and there are official camps; There are also private green buildings controlled by major wealthy families.

Su Qijin's green building is called "Yao Yu Pavilion", which is taken from "Chu Ci and Summoning Spirits": "Yao syrup honey spoon, real feathers." "It is a private green house controlled by a certain family, and it is considered the top among the more than 20 famous green buildings of all sizes in Ninja County.

Wang Yuewang, the person in charge of the Qinglou, has always been discerning, and she used to be the head of the family, but when she got older, the owner felt that she had good management skills, so she was promoted to the steward of "Yaoyu Pavilion". The first time Mother Wang saw Su Qi, she saw Shu Qi's potential, and after a brief question about Su Qi, she decided to cultivate Su Qi.

Therefore, Su Qi began to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and politics. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, as a high-end Qinglou This is a compulsory course, there is nothing to say, if you can't be proficient in this, basically you can only be reduced to a low-level prostitute, to meet other people's *. Politics is the way of government of various universities, which is a very important discipline in the Warring States Period, Qin Shi Huang has not yet unified China, has not implemented the deposition of the hundred schools, and burned books to pit Confucianism. The most important academic schools are: Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Moism, Bingjia and other schools.

The popularity of political discussion was as popular as the "poetry society" in the Tang and Song dynasties, and from the court to various gatherings, they would represent their respective schools of thought to promote and refute other schools.

Another big advantage of politics is that as long as you have a high level of politics and make a name for yourself in the political circles, you will be recommended to be a leader, which is a shortcut to get ahead for the poor. Later, Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin state, was an example.

Su Qi knows a little bit about the main schools, but the most admired is Taoism. Taoism takes "Tao" as the core, believes that the way of heaven does nothing, advocates the Tao of nature, and proposes the realm of governing by inaction, advocating the noble and the void, and pursuing the unity of heaven and man.

When Su Qi was 15 years old, Su Qi stood out among his sisters with the "Taoist" doctrine.

"Mother, I can't see that you respect Taoism so much!" Li Xin took Su Qi's hand, shook it, and said with a smile.

"No, what can you do in society as a woman? I just want to have fewer battles, fewer casualties, fewer displacements, live in peace, and live a more relaxed life. ”

"Mother, what do you think?"

"That's all my mother can think about." Su Qi sighed powerlessly.

……

Su Qi is 15 years old and has started a career of selling art without selling himself. He made a name for himself at the gathering of the "Yaoyu Pavilion" and the political discussion meeting held by him.

There is no right or wrong in discussing politics, it depends on the wisdom and talent of the discussion of politics itself, whether it can convince others, whether it can impress people, and as long as the school of thought represented does not deviate from its own core idea, everything else depends on free play.

Delicate face, proper clothing, unhurried words, clear thinking. Su Qi has been recognized and liked by many people......

“…… The Tao can be the way, and the non-constant way is also! Tao refers to all living beings and all the heavens and earth that appear in the world, and nature has been constantly changing for thousands of years...... In the management of the country, we must not remain unchanged, and in different periods, we should have different propositions and emphases...... As long as life is good, the people under the rule will spontaneously rise up to protect their own interests and the interests of the country......" Su Qi sat behind a guqin and told eloquently.

"The Tao can be the way, the non-Heng Tao is also" is the beginning of Lao Tzu, and the beginning of "Lao Tzu" that we see in later generations is "Tao can be the way, very the way", in order to avoid it, the name of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is Liu Heng. Everyone is afraid of His Holiness, so it is written as usual. This always means constant.

Today is the first time that Su Qi has presided over the "discussion of politics" activity, and his mood is apprehensive. Fortunately, most of the people who came were acquaintances, and they had met at other parties before, and there had been some exchanges.

"Miss Su said it well!" Several of the surrounding scholars cheered at Su Qi.

Su Qi stood up and thanked everyone.

"I have a different opinion!" A strange man not far away said, holding his hand at Shu Qi and the people around him.

He is a burly man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a mustache on his chin, dressed as a scholar, and is about 30 years old. This person is the first time I have encountered him, and he should have been brought by the scholar next to him.

"A certain name is Li Yao, from Jiangzhou, a certain has a different opinion, please Miss Su and all friends to give advice!" The man named Li Yao introduced himself.

"Mother, this is my father?" My dad finally appeared, haha, Li Xin couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, this is the first time I've met your dad!"
